Smoking Policy on Crystal Cruises

In keeping with the lifestyle trends of our guests, we wanted to let you know of important developments recently made to the smoking policy aboard the ships of Crystal Cruises. For the comfort and enjoyment of everyone, smoking will be prohibited in all indoor areas, except for the Connoisseur Club, effective with the first cruises in 2014. Outside smoking will be allowed in a limited number of designated spaces. The revised policy begins with the January 5, 2014 (v4301, Crystal Serenity) and January 8, 2014 (v4201, Crystal Symphony) voyages and eliminates smoking in all staterooms, suites, and corridors, as well as the Crystal Cove lounge and Pulse and Luxe nightclubs. Most areas of Crystal ships have been non-smoking for several years, including the restaurants, main entertainment lounges, all stateroom and suite verandahs, the Casino and Avenue Saloon.

These changes have been made following considerable feedback from our guests, the worldwide majority of whom are non-smokers. As always, our policies evolve with the changing lifestyles of today’s discerning travelers. The Connoisseur Club will remain as the only interior smoking area, along with designated outdoor deck spaces.

Crystal Serenity Atlantic crossing voyage is excellent. We were busy all day/night long with excellent activities and shows. Beats flying back from Europe!!

Reviewed on Sep 30, 2018

The food was top notch - absolutely the best. The choices were varied and anyone can find something they would like. The room was very comfortable and the linens were plush and cozy. The entertainment is broadway quality, very professional and polished. The enrichment program leaves something to be desired and did not meet expectations. High quality personnel. but not very good communicators/presenters. Some, such as "FBI in War and Peace", were not as described and seemed more of a current affairs news program. The excursions were average to good. The some guides were better than others. The poorer ones only pointed out landmarks but did not give any attention to detail. The better ones did a good job in describing some history, and the reasoning of the culture or historical significance. Crystal can do a better job in ensuring the quality of their guides. The included beverages were outstanding. The service staff was outstanding and most all were very attentive but not annoying. I can't say enough good things about the staff on board. Crystal advertises a six star rating in its marketing, but as such I expected a big "wow" factor. It is definitely a 5 star operation, but not a six star as advertised.
